So it's all over for this year. The Big Top is silent. With music still ringing loudly in their ears children, musicians,
teenage helpers, sound team, site
workers and Lighthouse leaders have left Thame Showground, in various stages of
exhaustion, excitement and exhilaration.
The five days of Lighthouse were jam-packed full of games, craft, singing, storytelling and ..... a lot of jumping up and down. Not to mention the daily gunging of some poor adult!
With more than 900 children registered, over 300 volunteers, 10 large tents and around 28 microphones in use, this year's Lighthouse was bigger and noisier than ever before! 18 churches in Thame and the surrounding villages got together to share the good news of Jesus with children, teenagers, Mums and toddlers and Silver Lighthouse for the over 55s.

The teaching was based around five miracles of Jesus, and
these tongue in cheek posters may give you a clue to the stories.
Yes - you're right! The stories were:
- Raising Lazarus
- Healing the paralysed man
- Feeding the 5,000
- Parable of the Sower
- Zachaeus (not shown here)
